Blood pressure spiked sky high....
In the early morning the
Nurse came in to do routine vitals, and while checking my blood pressure I went into a seizure and was convulsing. (At this point I dont remember anything after I started seizing so it will be from the words of my husband Mark.)

The nurse screamed and flipped out and ran out of the room to get help, at this point my husband woke up, so my husband Mark had to take over for the time being, he rolled me over to my side and held my arms down to my side. I had sustained lacerations to my tongue from biting down on it.

(Thank goodness my girls were still sleeping while all this was going on! I am so glad they didn't see their Mama in that state.)

Minutes later in came a room full of doctors and nurses, they immediately started to rush me into emergency surgery due to my vitals and the babies, but then they were able to stabalize me and the baby and our vitals began to normalize. So they held off on surgery for a bit. While waiting for the whole team of doctors to arrive that would be present during surgery they had me in pre-op, where they went over the entire procedure once again with me and my husband.

This is the moment we had all been waiting for the big she-bang. The room was intense and very focused. Into Surgery I went. the first step was the C-section to get Asher Michael out. They had to make an incision from my panty line all the way up above my belly button, it goes past the top of my belly button, they had to do this incision because of the placenta previa and accreta.

Asher Michael Arrives!

He was immediately breathing on his own!
